Frequently Asked Questions About Passport & Visa Photos

Everything you need to know about passport and visa photos

What is the size for a USA Form I-130 2x2 inch photo?

Width: 2in, Height: 2in

Can I take a passport photo at home?

Absolutely. With IDPhotoNow, you can take a compliant passport photo right from your phone.

Do I need a printed photo?

It depends on the requirement. For online submissions, we offer JPG/PNG files. For printed photos, we provide ready-to-print 4x6 print layouts.

How should I print the photo to ensure correct size?

We provide a ready-to-print 4×6 inch layout with the correct photo size. You can print it at home or at a store using standard photo paper. ⚠️ Be sure to select "Actual Size" or "100% scale" when printing. Do NOT use "Fit to Page" or "Scale to Fit", as this may distort the size.

Can I wear glasses in the photo?

It depends on the document and country. Many passport rules require glasses to be removed, but some ID types may allow them if eyes are fully visible.

How do I cut the printed photo to the correct size?

You can use scissors to carefully cut along the edges of the photo in the printed layout. We place the photo on standard 4×6 inch paper with correct dimensions, so you just need to follow the outlines. For best results, use a ruler or paper cutter for clean edges.

How do I take a passport photo of a baby or young child?

To take a passport photo of a baby or young child, lay them on a plain white sheet or blanket in a well-lit area. Make sure there are no shadows and the child’s face is clearly visible, with eyes open and mouth closed if possible. Avoid using props or having others in the frame. We’ll handle the background and sizing — just upload a clear photo following these tips.
